Maison Martin Margiela For H&M

One of this H&M most exciting collaboration's yet, and this season's must have collection.
Maison Martin Margiela, a Belgian Fashion Designer has been breaking fashion boundries (without being the the spotlight) with his unusual silhouettes since 1985. This ultradiscreet designer has worked with names such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Comme Des Garcons and the Antwerp Six.
Here's my pick of what I believe are his more interesting and stand-out pieces from each collection since 2009.

Only have been launched yesterday, many of the pieces are selling out quickly! The Collection for H&M was surprisingly subdued compared to his more outlandish catwalk pieces. I feel he's comprised a balanced collection representing his strong visual style and silhouettes but highstreet, wearable (key word here) versions. Obviously with a higher price tag, here are my top picks form the collection:

My personal favorite is the 'missing watch face' bracelet, which is now sold out, gutted! I also love the large sweetie bag (see left image). The black trousers I feel would definitely be a great personal investment, as they are a wardrobe staple.
So would you buy any of these pieces? Are they worth the investment, or just a bit pricey for such simple (but well made!) pieces? Let me know!
